you’re no train
(Key of D - Drop D tuning DADGBE)

           D
well a train blows a whistle before it pulls away,
      G                                     D
but no word or warning do you say.
         A                                  G                    F                    D
one minute right beside me, another you’re a thousand miles away.

well I felt such a shaking and I heard such a whirr
and I swore we were moving fast enough to blur.
then I opened up my eyes and found that we’re right back where we were.

Bm    G          A
baby you’re no train, you’re the track.
Bm      G          A
always running away, always running back.
Bm     G          A
baby you’re no train, you’re the steam blowing by.

how I longed for the journey, and those far distant lands,
I believed all your promises and plans. 
now I’m standing at the station with a lonely ticket in my hand.

baby you’re no train, you’re the track.
always running away and running back.
Bm     G          A                                    G - F
baby you’re no train, you’re the silence behind. 
           D         G          D         G
so roll on   roll on   roll on   roll on.
